I am a grandmother, activist, called "aggressive" by a Vietnam Vet. :) No guns, NO MAGA EVER IN ANY FORM. I like to garden, appreciate nature, need music, donate to independent journalists and Marc Elias.

Sounds about right. This is what you protest for, to stop this nonsense from happening. Because if ANYONE thinks that hiring has been color-blind, you haven't worked corporate or union or law firms.

Many original cultures around the world had equality. Until power hungry men decided to organize and call themselves a single god and it was MANKIND, not humanity, above all else.

thecrashcourse: Native beliefs around gender were-and honestly still are- pretty diverse. In fact, many Native American tribes are matriarchal, meaning women hold significant power in our communities, including as the primary decision-makers. Lily Gladstone!

From 2018-2022, individuals and orgs from blue states contributed ~60% of all federal taxes. Red states contributed only 40%. That’s $4300 per capita from blue to red states—who are then undermining democracy with blue state money. It is time for Soft Secession. www.qasimrashid.com/p/blue-state...

What an asshole. Really, white people are stupid because they protest. Like caring about NAZIS is a color thing. WTF? And the level of your intelligence to create a joke, at this point, is to make a "whitey bad" insult? Really? Fuck off.

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda: "He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her." "She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us. And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

The Dutch just elected an openly gay Prime Minister. The Nazi effect. Countries are taking notice of America's cognitive decline.

Breaking: it's now official, the pro-EU D66 party came first in the Dutch election. Their best result ever. The National Press Agency has just announced the final vote count. It’s a narrow victory with D66 just 15,155 votes ahead of the far-right PVV of Geert Wilders.

What an attractive quality in a man, empathy.

Stop making color an issue. They are HUNGRY AMERICANS we are feeding. Go by age, location, etc., but NOT COLOR! Where do brown people fit in? A light mocha? JUST STOP USING THE RACE CARD!

The proposed acquisition of Tegna — the parent company of 9News — by Nexstar, would make it the largest local broadcasting company in the country & threaten local journalism in Colorado and beyond. Proud to partner with @bennet.senate.gov in imploring the FCC to reject it.

Last week, I held my 17th in-person, town-hall of the year— the most in Colorado’s entire delegation. Republican lawmakers in Colorado have held NONE. And suffice to say, those held by my Republican colleagues in other states have been . . . different.

While the Trump administration gives $40 billion to bail out Argentina, they are unlawfully suspending SNAP benefits for millions of hungry families and kids across America. It is shameful.

I can only think of one religion that wasn't started by some gay guy hiding his entourage or misogynist that wanted multiple wives. Christian SCIENTIST is the only one I can recall started by a WOMAN.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

R.E.D., really? What nonsense is this mind game?

There's an untold story here. It's less a revolt by the GOP than a revolt by many of the biggest corporations in America who control the GOP. It's more a stand for profitability than democracy. We need economic democracy before we can have political democracy. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

NEW — In response to the pause in SNAP benefits scheduled for Nov. 1 due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, Gov. JB Pritzker signed an order to designate $20 million in state funding for 2,600 food pantries across Illinois. thetriibe.com/2025/10/prit...

Exactly. Some people scoffed that Pritzker even raised this. But now Noem is on record, which looks awful AND ALSO may help win legal cases.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light. newrepublic.com/article/2023...

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program. Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor. She thinks your too dumb to remember
